Greetings.
 
I think the late Alan S. Kaye compiled some audio samples during his fieldwork. He adapted and transliterated their features in some of his articles on Arabic dialectology or in his 1976 book, Chadian and Sudanese Arabic in the light of comparative Arabic dialectology. Publisher was Mouton in The Hague (ISBN 90-279-3324-3. Although OOP, a copy may be available via interlibrary loan).
 
A long shot you might contact and query is the Georgetown U Library. That Library inherited the extensive library holdings of CAL when CAL closed its office in Rosslyn, VA and moved to a new location in DC. The GU Library collection transferred from CAL included some really obscure -- but still-useful and rare -- descriptive items about Libyan, Yemeni, and Gulf Arabic dialects. Those were very helpful to me for some dialectology research. 
 
--------------------------------
 
Let me know if you have some texts or scripts for recording in that Chadian/Shuwa/Baqqara dialect or a related special interest, and I can connect you with some contacts in the small, and fastidiously self-effacing, ethnic populations of western/Khartoumi Sudanese and Chadians resettled here in California and nearby states.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Regards,

Hello -

there is a book series by Patrice Jullien de Pommerol.

Arabe tchadien. L’émergence d’une langue véhiculaire (L’)
Patrice JULLIEN DE POMMEROL
Ed. Karthala
ISBN : 2-86537-804-7


Dictionnaire arabe tchadien-français
JULLIEN de POMMEROL
Ed. Karthal
ISBN : 2-86537-953-1


Grammaire pratique de l'arabe tchadien
Patrice JULLIEN DE POMMEROL
Ed. Karthala
ISBN : 2-86537-938-8


J'apprends l'arabe tchadien
Patrice JULLIEN DE POMMEROL
Ed. Karthala
ISBN : 2-86537-949-3

Accompanying the last one of these books (J'apprends l'arabe tchadien)  
there are 5 cassettes which you can get directly in N'Djaména (this is  
where I got them). But you should be able to find them by contacting the  
Editions Karthala (http://www.karthala.com/) or the author (I think he is  
in Turkey now) or maybe by doing some googling, too.

Hope this helps,

Guido Fierlbeck
